By placing the magic products in a high traffic impulse purchase location, newsXpress members are able to easily extend the shopping basket and add to the margin banked with sales. The magic products are being bought by kids, parents and grandparents. This demographic efficiency is what makes them appealing to newsXpress members to keep building overall sales efficiency.
Too often we hear stories that newsagents want deals. Deals are no good without tactics which leverage a deal to its maximum potential. newsXpress provides access to excellent deals and backs this access with valuable information on making the most from the opportunity.
Magic products drive good impulse business
The magic product range recently launched by newsXpress is driving good sales at newsXpress Darra (QLD). The display started generating sales almost immediately – from the display on the dance floor as well as the small counter display.
In addition to sourcing the magic range at competitive prices, newsXpress is backing this with in-store tactics which are driving good sales results – further demonstrating the value of the full service offer by newsXpress.
The tactical Business Development Manager difference
newsXpress is the only newsagency marketing group in Australia with a team of Business Development Managers working right across the country to help members grow their businesses. Our BDMs help members in a variety of ways including tactical engagement.
If you look at the photo you see a stand offering an excellent range of cookbooks from one of our newsXpress preferred suppliers. The newsXpres Business Development Manager for this store kicked the display up a notch by gathering together the range of bookmarks from within the store and displaying these on the top shelf of the retail stand – within easy customer reach. This significantly enhances the purchase opportunity.
There is more to a good marketing group than just deals. The books and the bookmarks in the photo deliver excellent margin. By bringing the two together this store is more likely to achieve a deeper shopping basket and therefore a higher dollar margin per sale.
This is the smart newsXpress difference … always thinking beyond just margin and focusing on what you can bank by being tactical in-store with product placement.
Opportunities like this can only be seen through regular store visits. Again, newsXpress is the only newsagency marketing group offering this right across the country.
